Sunderland sack McCarthy
After 3 years in charge Sunderland say goodbye to Mick

With 10 games to go this season, and having won just 2 matches out of 28 games, Sunderland finally sacked Mick McCarthy today.

Chairman Bob Murray said that "it was in the best interests of both parties for him to leave immediately"

He added: "I would like to thank Mick McCarthy for his efforts for the club whilst at Sunderland."

"We wish him and his family the best for the future."

Murray said he took "responsibility for what has proven to be an unsuccessful and heartbreaking season, despite the best intentions, efforts and expectations of every one at the club".

"I feel deeply sorry that the excitement, optimism and aspirations of all Sunderland fans looking forward to a return to the Premier League have been rewarded in this way and I apologise for this.

"It is especially tough on supporters who have turned out in numbers week in, week out; despite seeing so little to raise their spirits.

"It is hard to see such loyalty unrewarded and I am sorry that performances and results have not mirrored the tremendous level of support that the club has been given.

"The club did not return to the Premiership just to make up the numbers and whilst we fully expected it to be a tough first season back, none of us expected to be in the position we are today.

"Looking ahead we will be taking our time to appoint a successor for what will be another very important season for the club in 2006."

In the meantime Sunderland will appoint a caretaker manager with the seemingly impossible task of keeping Sunderland in the Premiership - a task that McCarthy himself failed to achieve 3 years ago when he first took charge.
